Their timing is incredibly stupid. If they had rolled this out in like October, people would've stuck it out for prime shipping on Christmas purchases, and then most people would've forgotten about it because nobody launches prime video because it's fucking garbage. This timing is probably gonna push the most people possible to cancel because we already bought shit, we're looking to cut costs, and people will have a "new year new me" attitude to change habits. The next dumbass move will be to split prime video off to be a separate subscription from prime shipping, and then they'll raise prices on both until shutting down video when nobody wants it, and then they'll introduce a cheaper prime shipping tier (current prime price) that is a required subscription to order anything from amazon. They will make the product shittier and shittier until the entire brand collapses like the hollow shell of its former self that it is.

Canceled Prime and Kindle Unlimited, I'm off the Amazon pill

It was for me.

I am just going to pirate their content from now on.

Honestly, everyone subscribing to streaming services gets exactly what they deserve.

You can stream anything for free here: https://fmoviesz.to/

Yet you still choose to waste your money so people richer than you can be even richer.

They already fucked up music earlier in the year, so I'm now fully out.
